New York City restaurateurs Pietro and Kelly Molendini took over the classic St. James farmhouse turned restaurant. The former co-owners of Vite Vinosteria in Astoria, Queens, who had moved from the city to Centerport, spent the summer renovating the dining room to a modern, clean look with neutral tones and contemporary artwork from Pietro Molendini's native Rome. They also expanded the bar from about four to 11 seats.Pietro Molendini has spent 30 years in the food industry, with a decade of that at Cipriani and stints at both Bar Pitti and Da Silvano. Along the way, he met chef Fabian Garcia Manca, who eventually headed the kitchen at Vito Vinosteria and now joins the Molendini’s in St. James. Kelly Molendini said Manca and her husband scour the tristate area and beyond for ingredients. "They are never home," she joked, and said that the pair source some of their meat from the Bronx, burrata from New Jersey and dried pasta from Italy and Sicily.Closed 11/17/2022 for private party

    The food was delicious! You know you’re in the right place when you sit down and warm fresh bread with olive oil is placed on your table. The specialty drinks were wonderful, I recommend the raspberry martini! Very authentic Italian food. Don’t think just go, you won’t be disappointed.

    Didn’t know about its existence until I did a google search for bar/restaurants and decided to give it a try. Atmosphere was loud and lively as expected in a pub. Loved the decor especially the paintings. Service was excellent both at the bar and after seated at our table-friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The menu was not large which to me is a good thing. The food was excellent. Overall it exceeded my expectations. I’ll be back.
